Independent primary care refers specifically to physicians who work independent of any one health system or hospital. Real, independent care—like the Marathon Health solution—allows patients to receive high quality care and unbiased advice for more complicated services. Independent primary care puts patients first by aligning economic incentives with health outcomes.

“Marathon Health provides an enhanced model of care focused on optimizing the patient experience, driving better health outcomes and creating more value.”

Focusing On Continuity of Care

Are your employees still working virtually? Not to worry—Marathon Health provides continuity of care in a virtual setting.

When patients engage with Marathon Health’s virtual visit platform they benefit from receiving quality care from their primary care physician of choice with access to their medical charts and health history.

As a result, Marathon Health physicians are able to diagnose 1,300 diagnoses codes versus the 30 codes that can be identified in a standard telemedicine visit.

24 / 7 Access: Marathon Health is focused on providing an exceptional patient experience. In addition to their convenient health center locations, multiple options are available for care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including:

Virtual Appointments

Portal Scheduling

Providers and care team members are able to to deliver video-based care to patients from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

With the Marathon Health Patient Portal, patients can schedule appointments, view services, self-report health measures, send and receive secure messages and request medication refills.

After-Hours Nurse Triage Line Marathon Health partners with a medical triage call center to offer 24 / 7 care to patients when health centers are closed.

LiveHealth Triage Tool Marathon Health partners with LiveHealth Online to provide video-based care to patients 24 / 7.

In early 2020, OurHealth merged with Marathon Health to create a strengthened primary care platform and accelerate development of enhanced population health capabilities to better service patients, their families and their employers.
